Residents in Esmeralda and Central Nye County should prepare for a Wind Advisory, effective immediately, and a Freeze Watch beginning late Monday night. The National Weather Service (NWS) Las Vegas NV issued the Wind Advisory on October 11 at 12:18 PM PDT, remaining in effect until October 12 at 5:00 AM PDT.
South winds are expected to reach 15 to 25 mph with gusts up to 45 mph. These gusty winds can make driving difficult, particularly for high-profile vehicles. The NWS advises securing all unsecured outdoor objects to prevent them from blowing around.
Following the wind advisory, a Freeze Watch will be in effect from late Monday night through Tuesday morning. Sub-freezing temperatures as low as 30 degrees Fahrenheit are possible.

To prevent water pipes from freezing, wrap them, drain them, or allow them to drip slowly.
